That looks like a really tuff belt. Not sure if I like the front end on it tho. It would ideally be black leather with silver/nickle accents or synthetic materials.Look up Curt with FatBoy Belts. He's in Monroe. Looks like you're not far from him. I've got 2 of them and love them. I know Curt as well and he's a good guy to deal with. Here is his Etsy page.

This belt will probably outlive me.
Well crap, I've been doing it wrong. I've never even heard of AG Gunleather but I didn't know they were the end all be all.
Ares Gear makes them. The buckle isn't about being cool. The buckle itself doesn't lace through your loops anyways....it's hard to explain but easy once you have it in hand. It is awesome because you cinch it to the perfect size in the morning and then every time you undo your belt you be back to perfect size with a simple click instead of tugging on a regular friction riggers belt or hitting between hole sizes on regular belts.
I understand the latching of the buckle . Please explain the lacing in the am.
You basically keep the 2 parts of the buckle hooked together and just weave the webbing through your belt loops. The buckle doesn't even need to fit through your belt loops. Once the webbing is all the way around you run the adjustment strip through the female side of the buckle and cinch it down. At that point the waist size is set and all you have to do is unbuckle it.
My daily belt is black. I took the pic of the brown one because I don't want to take the black one off. lol You could call and see if he does any with buckles. The one pictured is his signature belt though. I carry a G19 both IWB and OWB with it, and I can assure you that a stiffener is unnecessary. This belt is about 14-15 oz leather. I don't see myself needing another belt for a long time, if ever. The buckle takes a bit to get used to, but I really like it now. I like interesting and different stuff, so this fits.
Yeah, I did it. Good eye. I used an adjustable head soldering iron with the smallest tip that came with it. It's pretty simple to do. I would suggest drawing out the area you want to stipple in pencil and don't go as high on the grip as I did. I had to sand it down because it rubbed too much IWB. I also used the wide tip to level out the factory grip so I started off with more of a level surface to work on.
